Took too many pills
| Wed, 09-29-2004 - 1:00pm |
I took one of my pills on time a few days ago, but was somewhat ill immediately afterwards, which made me a little nervous about whether it would be effective. So I took a second pill (the pill for the exact same day from a spare pack) about 15 minutes later and was fine for the rest of the day.
My question is: will this effect the remainder of my pack at all? I didn't skip any pills - I only took one extra pill on one day of the cycle. Can I continue on with the pack (including the placebo week) as if nothing happened? Or should I treat this differently? What's the safest course of action?
THANKS!!

If you weren't *actually* sick (I can't quite tell from what you wrote) you were being overly catious & didn't need to take the extra pill, but there shouldn't be any harm.
Either way, continue on as normal (finish the active pills, take the placebos, start a new pack on time) - you should be just fine because you didn't miss any doses of your pills!
